Benue of course has always wanted to be free from the shackles of the north. I wish they get their freedom.

jneutron4000:
So broda is see it all politics and no region is a slave, the Yorubas knows that the Northerns has majority power that's why they believe forming align with them will get them into power while in the Southern region there have not being more unity compared to the Northern region. Obj was not dumb when he made GEJ the Vice President and made Yaradua the President if he had made it vice versa, that GEJ president and Yaradua vice, Buhari (ANPP) or Atiku Abubaka (AC) would have won the 2007 election because the north will vote massively for Buhari then because he even won a vote of 18% compared to Atiku 7%. And obj knowing fully well that soon power will return o the South, in 2011, The Yoruba massively voted for GEJ. GEJ won 58.89 % to Buhari 31.98%. Now, after gaining the support of the west, what did he do for the west? Even the SE and SS, what did he do apart from giving them major pofolio Minister of petroleum se, etc all those he gave important ministers totally neglected the west and even their regions. GEJ even did More to the north than than the south maybe becos he wants to gain favor. Was is not the other day a leader from the SS region said GEJ neglected them during the lunch of Ogoni clean up? And after GEJ pushed his political godfather away abi are you not aware of the Obj letter to GEJ and the replied letter. Even the so called politics, the Northern are not really good at it, is just the power of unity among them which the Southerns lack. In that map, it show the state GEJ won in the 2007 election all green is where GEJ and that blue is Osun state where Ribadu won. So it all game and not region should see themselves as slave, because you guys have started calling for freedom in your own country, you are giving the Northerns power now imagine them wanting to start claiming Enugu

Let me explain this in simple terms so that maybe you will understand. Im an Igbo man, I have fought before to get my own country. I do not need Nigeria and I dont want Nigeria. There are also other tribes in the south of Nigeria who are fighting to control their land and sovereinghty. They will also tell you that they don't need Nigeria. What makes a slave as a Yoruba man is that your thinking is yet to go past 'one Nigeria'. That's why you will be aligning and realigning for political position in a messed up country like Nigeria forever. The idea of you being free, standing alone, governing your self is just beyond your level of thinking. Well, some of us are no longer in the mental trap of 'one Nigeria', we are now aspiring for something more important.

Your reasoning is faulty.
There are no bad countries but bad systems and bad people.

The same Tiv and Idoma people that joined the Hausa-fulani to ambush Igbos freeing the Core North, at Makurdi and butchered them like Suya!


Brother, pick up your history books. Benue people once again recently voted a fanatic Islamic ruler like Buhari.

Good a thing modern Igbos have history to learn from, that we might not repeat the mistakes of our fore runners.

I totally agree with your point but that word Slave that you are attaching to the Yoruba is what I want to clear you off. Now here is the bitter truth, Do you know that with all the SE representative in the senate and with just only 3 governors and not even all You guys would have archived Biafra. Or have you ever seen them clamoring for Biafra? So we can well assume that all your senates representatives from your zone and all you governors are more slaves even than the Yorubas because as we speak a Yoruba man is the second man of this country. So you see that it all still balls down to politic and let me tell what you guys don't know or maybe you know and refuse to admit. If Nnamdi Kanu, tomorrow becomes the president of Nigeria if they ask to break Nigeria and rule only the Eastern region of the country, do you think he will accept? Every king, every president want to expand their territory, have as many as possible people under them. Finally, you that you are GEJ, why didn't you advice him to split the country during his regime. So guy think

The core North hid behind the murder of their Islamic rulers to unleash their innate Igbophobia on Ndiigbo.
The Yorubas hide behind the Bia*** March to Lagos to unseat the Northern military machinery camped there, (a march that a Yoruba son was made the leader, as a mark of peace to Yorubas) to unleash their media propaganda borne Igbophobia.

Pray tell, what exactly did Ndiigbo do to Idomas and Tivs to warrant the massacre at Makurdi?

Did we kill Idoma or Tiv leaders? Did we march into Tiv or Idomalands?

It is good that Ndiigbo accept any willing ally in our quest for freedom, but the antecedents of these would be allies must never be forgotten, cos an old woman never gets too old for a dance she knows too well.

When Ojukwo fault the Biafra war, why did the Yorubas stopped him? Ojukwo wanted to claim some parts of the Yorubas territory before he was block at ore. Or answer this question, if Ojukwo had won the battle and the Nigerian military submitted to him, do you think he would limit his rule in only Biafra ? In fact he would love to be the Commander in chief of all armed forces in Nigeria. So forget all this story and if you like thing see yourself as a slave that needs freedom in a country your forefathers all build

Who is Ojukwo? I have never heard of him. How is such person connected to Biafra

zendy:

Typographical error you know I meant Ojukwu

The major thing affecting the southern part of Nigeria is that some of the electoral constitution is affecting us e.g, if you are eligible, you have the right to vote and to be voted for so every presidential election person go wan come out from the North for presidency, as even 2019 never reach, people have started seeing poster of formal Kano state governor as president and Rochas as Vice President even Atiku is also making plans. So, so far so good, the only region challenging the northern region in the south is the SW region because they are also much. Also Another major problem killing the South region is the lack of Unity. The SW is still more united than any other southern region despite the fact that it contains the two major religions. Just only Governorship Election in River state, we can't count how many people has lost their lives also in the SW and SE election is always bloody but in the North, because of their unity their election is much more peaceful compared to the south. So my point is that if you think you are slave in Nigeria, when you get Biafra, you will still be slaves in Biafra because you leaders go play politics with una

jneutron4000:
Typographical error you know I meant Ojukwu

Ojukwu would not have been interested in ruling Yoruba land. You Forget that before the Biafran Army got to Ore, they had already overrun the mid west. What Ojukwu did was to declare them 'Repulic of the Mid-West' and appointed one of them as President. If Ojukwu had entered Yoruba land, he probably would have declared "Oduduwa Republic" and appointed an anti-North Yoruba as president. But knowing Yorubas, they would have rejected this for 'one Nigeria'

Which middle belt? Apart from Benue, the entire middle belt has a Muslim majority.

Broda I disagree with you on this one, Ojukwu was a Nigerian military officer and also a POLITICIAN even before the civil war, assuming Ojukwu had the opportunity to be the head of state in Nigeria, do you think he would have called for Biafra? No he felt the Northerns are being parasitic and wanting to retain power that was why he fought. So basically, the Biafra war was a political conflict. So as the Yorubas now understand the political game even better than the North now so how are they now slaves?? Because the leader of the Presidential party Apc Na Tinubu so what are we talking about. Broda I don't tire for this argument self

my yoruba muslim brother, our fathers lied to us that Ojukwu want to rule yorubaland when even the whole world knows Ojukwu fought a war of survival for his people. You can not be trying to survive and at the same time trying to dominate another people. I don't like the ibos but i still wonder if it's God's curse on yorubaland that afflicted us with a fulani Emirate even when the fulani could not defeat smaller ethnic groups like Tiv, Igala and langtang.

Any how u guys like strategise it. Apart from benue state I don't think any middle belt would want to associate with other region apart from the core north cos we live together like brothers.

Any way I have 1 thing to tell u guys if u want to be above anybody stop hatting them jst admire their way to success ur hatred towards the north is what is killing u guys

Benue and Plateau especially, have more than 90% Christian population.

The muslims fight and die for each other simply by being muslims. From Yoruba muslims fighting other Nigerians in Nigeria.,, and fighting to honor Osama Bin Ladin on the streets of London. Riots break out in Kano and Kaduna anytime some says something bad about muslims in Palestine or even Iran. For Nigerian christians, its the opposite.
When the Fulani think thank couldn't find ways to handle eastern christians, they simply recruited northern Christians to crush fellow christians, something a muslim would never do to a fellow muslims. And this was less than 1 year after an Igbo army officer galantly and bravely disobeyed Sarduan's order to massacre protesting Tiv people. Tiv christians headed by Tarka lunched both national and international campaign against their eastern christians cousins.
We must never forget.

Point of correction, we are not TIV's cousins or mates, we have nothing in common with them. Idoma - YES, TIVs - HELL NO!
Thanks.

The middle belt regrets it's action in civil war. It's unfortunate it happened. I can also argue that we acted that way bkos they igbos took us for fools.(Argument 4 anoda day) But the fact we are comming out to apologise does not give any one the right to insult us. We can live on our own. It's just that there is greater adavantage to unite and fight a common enemy.
Truth is no state produce variety of food in Nigeria like Benue and no state has variety of minerals like Nasarawa. So we can live independently. Infact you southerners have always caused our problem. You trust the hausa fulani muslim too much. Twice we staged a coup to kick them out of office(Thru Col Dimka and Maj Orkar) and you guys were against us. In 2011 southern kaduna alone gave more votes to Goodluck than most south eastern and 9ja delta states. It gave more than a milion. In 2015 people came out in mass in plateau,Nasarawa and Taraba to vote for Goodluck who didnt do them any thing or give their indigenes big major appointment. The igbos he worked for turned out poorly,they prefered staying in their shops to do business and today they have guts to blame middle belt for this nonsensical "change"? How dare you!
My problem with people down south is that they are not properly informed about people in the north. They think we are all hausas and muslim. Goodluck didnt even know where to campaign. For christ sake how can you put north central campaign head quarters in Niger state? Do they send you? Do they know you? Look at the arms gate scandal just look at the huge amount of money Goodluck spent to get theses hausa muslims to vote him.
I am vewi angry writing this xo dont mind all the gramatical errors. Just go to jos and see the way people are suffering for no fault of theirs. Because some people some where didnt do the needful and an old bigot man has become the president.
